The next tournament is the Malta Cup (starting 4th February). I'm not sure if Eurosport are showing it this year, with it not being a ranking event anymore. After that, it's the Welsh Open, which starts on 11th February and is on BBC Wales and probably BBCi, as well.

Jimmy White was beaten 5-0 by Leo Fernandez in his first qualifying match. it gets worse Strange thing is, he was still just above the relegation zone coming into this week. If he can qualify for one of the 2 other tournaments, he'll probably keep his place on the tour. He'll face either James McBain or Rodney Goggins on Sunday, with the winner then facing Andrew Higginson for a place in the Welsh Open.

One of 3 things will happen: 1) World Snooker will take pity on him and give him a wild card 2) He'll have to play in the PIOS events (for non-tour pros) and try and finish in the top 8 at the end of the season or play in one of the international events that carry a Main Tour place as the prize 3) He'll retire

Jimmy White faces Rodney Goggins later today in the Welsh Open qualifiers. By my reckoning, if Jimmy wins today, it might just be enough to ensure a place on the tour for next season...
Scary to think that for the players who are already out of the World Championship, the season ends here if they don't qualify for the Welsh Open.

White beat Goggins 5-1 and needs to beat Andrew Higginson tomorrow to qualify for the Welsh Open.

A win against Andrew Higginson today should make sure.

Looking at today's results, I believe Jimmy White is assured of keeping his place on the tour (as long as he doesn't retire) but Tony Drago will be gone.
